Stalling means stop or cause to stop making progress.

If the RLC transmitting window becomes full then the RLC entity may not transmitt any new RLC PDU until the lower edge of the transmitting window is advanced. This condition is termed as Window Stalling.

In specs it is described that what are the actions need to be taken to address this problem ever arises.

Window stalling limits the throughput for lower edge sizes 400 and 1000 bits at the beginning. It can be vary by implementation.

LTE: What type of data is considered for transparent mode (TM) transmission in LTE RLC ?

RLC is one of the L2 layer in LTE radio protocol stack. It does many functions such as segmentation, re-assembling and along with that it supports various transmissions mode like transparent mode, acknowledgement mode and un-acknowledgement mode.
Now I want to understand for which type of RLC SDUs and PDUs transparent mode transmission is used.
Does the RLC create single RLC entity at cell level or at the UE level or at the bearer level ?
